I only comment when I know the answer because I'm not expert in KS. I don't see anything to make me believe it's not authentic.
Although most have the other lining, I found this listing with the same striped lining:

Hello, can you tell me if this is authentic Kate Spade. I found the label on the inside bottom of the bag. Got at an estate sale. Thank you!

Can anyone tell me if this book clutch is authentic? I'm getting married next summer and we're doing art deco with pale pink and burgundy AND this is one of my favorite authors so it's basically perfect! I'm just afraid it's not real!

It's fake. Although some fakes have sewn on labels, real KS bags never have a sticker-type label that peels off. Someone probably saw that the bag was fake, peeled off the label and just dropped it in.
Without the label, the bag is a generic no-name bag and legal to sell. (Destroy the label so it doesn't end up on a different bag or back on this one.)
Completely and totally counterfeit. Striped "bow" bags are always fake. And no ks has those cone-shaped feet or a blank interior label.

Hi can you please help me authenticate this Stevie purse? It looks different from any pictures of Stevies I can find here or anywhere else online. The "leather" doesn't smell like leather to me. It's "Made in China". It's new, unused and without tags and the seller says it was bought in a Kate Spade store last spring. If authentic-what was the original price? Thanks in advance!

Can you ladies tell me if I've been had? I did buy this from an Amazon seller who allows returns, FWIW, but I don't have other KS bags so I don't have a gut feeling on it. It lacks a country of origin tag and a KS label on the inner pocket, which I've heard are bad signs. It's also missing the second "keeper" loop on the strap. On the other hand, the leather feels nice and the details (such as the lining and the stitching for the decorative buckles) closely match photos on the KS website of the remaining colors of this style (Holden Street Brandy). Supposedly "new with tags" but the tags weren't actually attached. Dust bag, but no styrofoam protection on the hardware.
What do you think?

authentic. Looks like it was bought at a ks outlet.

I see nothing,wrong,with this. Authentic. Not sure of original price.

Thank you Dawnsfinallywed. I liked the bag and got it for a great price but the quality didn't seem right. But at least I wasn't cheated
